“Applied Nostalgia” exhibition dedicated to Belgrade, Budapest opened

Belgrade, 10 October 2024

Minister of European Integration Tanja Miščević, Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Serbia Emanuele Giaufret and Ambassador of Hungary to Serbia Jozsef Magyar, opened tonight the 26th photo exhibition “Applied Nostalgia” dedicated to Belgrade and Budapest.

The exhibition was opened in the European House in Belgrade on the occasion of the current Hungarian presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Miščević pointed out that she is very proud every time she opens this exhibition, adding that the European integration process of Serbia is very much alive and that our country adopted the Reform Agenda last week.

The Minister expressed her gratitude to Hungary, which, during its presidency of the Council of the EU, put focus on integration of the Western Balkans into the European Union as one of the priorities.

Giaufret emphasised that in the process of Serbia’s integration into the EU, in addition to economic interest, investment, and significant assistance that the Union provides to Serbia in many sectors, common belonging is an important element.

It is not only about interest, but also about sharing the same history, and we should share the same future. Europe is our home. This is what this exhibition tells us all, the Head of the EU Delegation said.

The project “Applied Nostalgia” was conceived as a series of joint exhibitions of photographs by two photographers, one from Serbia and one from the country holding the EU presidency.

The basic idea is to improve the cultural exchange between the two countries in this way, as well as to promote European values and Serbia's cooperation with EU member states.

Anđela Stevanović Živković, an author from Serbia, stayed in Budapest and photographed places, events, scenes and people that reminded her of Belgrade.

At the same time, an author from Hungary, Ana Molnar, visited Belgrade and photographed the city and its inhabitants with the lens of a nostalgic photographer.
